Features & Capabilities

The client app for your self-hosted Mealie server — new: your meal plan and shopping list as widgets, right on the home screen.

IMPORTANT: Pantry for Mealie is not a standalone recipe app — it is a client app for your self-hosted Mealie server (a free open-source project, mealie.io). Without your own Mealie server — or credentials for a friend's server — the app has no recipes to show.

Your recipes. Your server. Your app.

Pantry for Mealie connects to your Mealie server and makes it a joy to use on iPhone and iPad — fast, offline-capable, and no nonsense. Unlock once, use forever: no ads, no subscription, no tracking.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Offline first: Recipes, shopping list and meal plan work without a connection — everything syncs automatically once your server is reachable again • Friends & family: Connect your friends' Mealie servers and see their recipes right next to yours — each server with its own symbol and color. Ingredients from a friend's recipe go onto YOUR shopping list • Share recipes: Send a recipe via AirDrop to another Pantry — imported with one tap, straight onto a friend's server if you like. Anyone without Pantry gets it as a beautiful PDF • The ingredients cheat sheet: Halfway through step 7 and forgot how much coconut milk it was? Tap the step — the ingredient list slides up for a quick peek. Keep cooking without losing your place • Scale servings: Turn 2 into 6 — ingredient amounts adjust live, all the way to the shopping list • Cooking mode: The screen stays awake while you're at the stove • Meal plan: Plan recipes with a tap and collect a whole week's ingredients onto the shopping list at once • Shopping list: Take over ingredients from any recipe with a tap, check them off in the store — and share the list with other services via the share sheet if you like • Home screen widgets: What's cooking today and what's still missing from the cart — both as a widget in three sizes. One tap opens the matching section • Favorites & stars: Rate like on the Mealie web app — and combine filters for favorites, star ratings, categories and servers at once. Sort however you like: newest, name or rating • Search the way you cook: Type “potatoes” and you find every recipe with potatoes — the search looks inside the ingredients, not just the title • Nutrition & source: When a recipe carries nutrition values, Pantry shows them as a clean table — and links the original page for imported recipes • Create, edit and photograph recipes — or import them by URL, straight from Safari's share menu. Your own recipes land in the right place right away: pick an existing category or create a new one • Guest mode: Browse public Mealie cookbooks without an account — perfect for trying Pantry before you have a server • A short tour on first launch: shows you where everything lives in under a minute — skippable, and repeatable any time from Settings • Light & dark: A lovingly crafted design in both modes, for iPhone and iPad

FAIR & PRIVATE

• Try everything free for 7 days — with your own server, or in guest mode without one. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app forever: no subscription, no ads • No tracking, no analytics: Your data stays on your server and your device • Sign in with username & password or an API token — credentials live in the Keychain, your password is never stored

REQUIREMENTS

A running Mealie server (self-hosted, e.g. on a NAS or home server) or credentials for a friend's server. Pantry for Mealie is an independent, unofficial app and is not affiliated with the Mealie project.
